Still shooting in America. After the California massacre that killed 11 people, a new shooting kills two at a school in Des Moines, Iowa.
The police stopped three people suspected of opening fire to Starts Right Here, the institute that helps young people living in particularly disadvantaged circumstances.
“It was not a causal action, but a targeted action,” police said by DesMoines. The investigation is ongoing and police arrested three suspects in a car not far from the school.
Fired shots caused the deaths of two students and the injury of a teacher whose condition is seriousthe.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynold said she was “shocked and saddened” by the shooting at the school, which helps at-risk youth ages 9 to 18. The Institute was founded by Will Holmes, the rapper known as the Will Keeps, who came to Des Moines from Chicago 20 years ago, where he lived in a gang world before finding support and help in music.
The school aims to encourage underprivileged youth to use arts, music and other programs to thrive. “We are saddened by another act of gun violence. We await further details, but our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims,” the Des Moines School District said.
